Did you know Leo Fender couldn’t play guitar? Or that the a Telecaster was originally called a ‘Broadcaster’? Well here’s two Mexican Telecasters looking good as always in Butterscotch Blonde and Black gloss, in stock in our Great Western Road shop.jimmyegypt.com.........#guitar #fender #telecaster #glasgow #guitarshop #guitarist #glasgowwestend @ Jimmy Egypt & Sons Musical Instruments … See MoreSee Less

Most guitar stores I go into these days are so obsessed with making a sale and nothing else and it makes me feel like I'm not wanted in the shop.
I visited Jimmy Egypt's yesterday as I realised that I had never been in before, so I had no intention of buying anything, just wanted to look around and see what they had.
The staff were welcoming and I never got the sense that I wasn't wanted in the shop at all (as I do with other guitar shops) and one guy in particular (I don't remember his name but he had longish hair and a red jacket I think) who talked about guitars with me was really friendly and let me try an 12 string acoustic for the first time. I didn't feel like I was being pressured to buy it though.
Overall great experience and when it comes the time that I do want to make any guitar related purchases, I'm definitely coming back, even though it's more out the way for me.

Visited this gem of a shop today..started by having a go at a Vintage LP junior type guitar played through a vox valve, then had a look at the tower of power wall that has some stunning looking instruments.
So whatever comes first, wages or lottery determines wether it’s the Joe Walsh or Vintage. Looking forward to getting my Strat set up.
